2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Escalade ESV.

The 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV carries 20 total owner complaints with the engine emerging as the top complaint area and two recalls on record. Across the model's complaint history spanning 2003 through 2026, the 2024 figure sits well below the peak of 268 complaints seen in 2007 but above the low-water mark of just two complaints in 2013. This placement suggests the current generation has avoided the early-generation turbulence while not reaching the exceptional quiet of the 2013 model year.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 97,500 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV shows a marked improvement in reliability metrics compared to the preceding years of its generation, with complaints dropping to 20 from a peak of 80 in 2021. While 2022 and 2023 saw 51 and 70 complaints respectively, the 2024 model also significantly reduced the volume of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) to 334, down from 840 in 2023. Recalls for the 2024 model stand at 2, a decrease from the 11 recalls reported in 2021, though investigations have remained steady at 3, consistent with the 2022 and 2023 levels. Reported issues for 2024 are primarily concentrated in the engine and engine cooling systems (11 combined complaints) and service brakes (2 complaints), though the data does not specify the root causes. This downward trend in complaints and TSBs continues into the 2026 record, positioning the 2024 model as a stabilizing point in the vehicle's lifecycle. Given the low complaint volume and reduced recall frequency compared to its immediate predecessors, this is a good year to buy.
